Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering

Well, we can make your fabric planter dreams come true! Just head over to our custom request form to tell us about your ideas. You can request things like handles, strange sizes, alternative raised bed dimensions, or maybe a pot with no bottom!

We do ship to Alaska and Hawaii, you’ll just need to call us to place your order since different shipping conditions apply. We can also ship to Canada, but what you would pay for shipping is often unfortunately high. Feel free to call or email us for a shipping quote. We are unable to ship overseas at this time.

Fabric Pot Information

Typically, we expect them to last between 3-5 years. It depends on how much direct sunlight they receive, how you store/clean them, and how you grow in them. We recommend washing your fabric pots in between cycles if you use a lot of nutrients and amendments.

Our fabric is a nonwoven geotextile polypropylene made especially for us from a manufacturer in Georgia. It is military grade UV-resistant, chemically stable, and BPA free! It resists breakdown and rot and won’t leech any chemicals into your media. Plus, you can just throw it in the washing machine!

Yes, our aeration container fabric pots help to prevent root circling like you might see in a plastic pot. When the roots grow to the side of the pot, they hit air. That causes the plant to divert the growth to new root fibers instead of the same one, allowing for a more dense and fibrous root ball. Air pruning is a term often used for this effect.

We care about giving you the best quality at the best price. We have taken the time to research the materials used by our competition and have chosen to use a far superior fabric that is made specifically for us in the state of Georgia. Then we sew our pots 100% in the USA for lasting quality. We keep our prices low by cutting out the middle man and shipping direct to you from us, the manufacturer. Also, we sew our bottom seams on the outside to help them last longer.

Traditional hard plastic pots easily cause the plant to become root bound, leading to a whole host of problems such as root rot, disease, and pests. Our fabric breathes, and allows the roots to grow outwards in a natural pattern, staving off bad molds and fungi that would take over a root bound plant and possibly cause death. We can get pretty passionate about this. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us.

Using Fabric Pots

When not in use, store your Grassroots Fabric Pots indoors to prevent the elements from weakening the fabric. To wash, hose down the pots to get rid of most of the soil and plant matter. Then machine wash cold with a small amount of bleach. DO NOT DRY. Here is more info on how to wash your fabric pots.

Why yes! For any reason you have to move your plant, our pots are lightweight and designed to be free to pick up and move to a new location. We recommend doing so before a watering so the pot is at its lightest.
